Chelsea Handler boycotts Instagram over topless picture

Comedienne Chelsea Handler is boycotting Instagram after the site twice deleted a topless photograph of her.

The “This Means War” star was lampooning Russian president Vladimir Putin when she was photographed riding a horse topless in a wooded area. Putin was photographed in a similar pose in 2009.
When Handler first posted the image, she attached the caption, “Anything a man can do, a woman has the right to do better. #kremlin.” Instagram cited its nudity guidelines before removed the shot.

The upset star then took to Twitter to post a screenshot of the image, writing, “Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to show I have a better body than Putin.”

After posting the shot on Instagram for a second time, the funny woman grumbled about her rights, stating, “If instagram takes this down again, you’re saying Vladimir Putin has more 1st amendment rights than me. Talk to your bosses.”

Following the deletion of the second post, Handler went on to declare she would exclusively use Twitter as she feels censored on Instagram.

She added a caption to a picture of her two dogs, writing, “You can now find my dogs and my breasts on Twitter only where my followers have the right to choose what they say (sic). Bye bye instablock.”
